OMP! All that decorating really wore me out AND we are not nearly done! I am kinda glad the weekend is gonna be kinda rainy so we will stay INDOORS and concentrate on getting the house all ready.
We pulled out box after box of decorations trying to decide on a theme for this year's tree. Sometimes it is old fashioned, sometimes it is Asian (4 out of 10 of us are Asian, kinda) and sometimes we honor the MOUSE - Mickey Mouse. I know what ever we finally decide will be lovely.
Today I think we will put up the tree. We have an artificial tree because my mommies and aunties are afraid of the flammability of real trees. They remember many houses catching on fire from over dry trees and lights so they just do not want to risk it. Plus, the fake ones are not AS MESSY and look very consistently nice. We have had ours for YEARS! That means we have saved almost, what. . . . a BILLION live trees? Maybe not quite that much. . . but a lot.
So it takes time to put up the tree and shape the branches JUST SO. Then we add a zillion lights so you cannot even look at the tree without sunglasses on. So cool. That should take all day because we take a lot of breaks for hot cocoa (Mommy) and Christmas Movies.
Have a great weekend EVERYPUGGY and have fun Decking YOUR Halls.

We have always been a Fan of the NOT LIVE trees... we think it is like recycle or somethingy.
Enjoy your decorating... and the hot chocolate..
I think you should do an old-fashioned Asian Mouse theme this year!
Is that Ralphie's santa?
We think Casey (above) has a good idea!
Hooray for saving trees! My parents would never use real pine trees and I've always admired that.
Decorating can be hard work, but it's all part of the festive fun. Hahah :)
